There is always a solution

Posted on by philipdodson

We face many challenges in our lives.

All of which have a solution.

The bigger challenge is learning how to react to challenges.

Often, we allow even minor setbacks to take ‘the wind out of our sails’. We focus on the injustice, or the hurt, the problem, the way in which we can get revenge or not accept it.

Instead, if we focus all our energies on the solution, the world looks completely different.

We are not victims, we are not unlucky, we haven’t been dealt a bad hand. We make all the choices, so what comes our way is a result of those choices and the things that we can not control will happen regardless of what we do.

Sure initially we will all react to a setback, but after that initial reaction, there is a choice to blame others, to be a victim or there is the choice of what is the solution? How can I make things better? What opportunity will come from this challenge? What can I learn? What did I do right and what can I do even better next time?

Questions lead to solutions and it is a choice.

There is always a solution and it is not found in blame, victimhood, or dwelling on the problem.

It always comes good

Life is full of challenges, and frankly, without them, we would not learn, we would have little motivation or inspiration and it would be dull.

Challenges are what keeps us going.

It is how we choose to react to the challenges of life that define the outcome and how our journey gets better not stuck.

If we have a positive approach to challenges and if we have faith in the fact, that if we have this mindset, things always come good.

If we are prepared to see each challenge as an opportunity to grow, to learn, to become a better version of ourselves, then we will have the inspiration and the right strategy to overcome that challenge, and from that process we build resilience.

That increased resilience is built by the right mindset and it allows us to become stronger and stronger at overcoming setbacks, it helps us evolve.

The last thing to add to the commitment to succeed is patience.

Being patient enables us to respond with the right strategy and that then brings about the right solution and always coming good happens because of it.

When we are patient, we are calm and being calm is exactly what we need in challenging times.

When you have faith that it will be alright, you can relax and take the longer term approach, no need for short-term fixes and knee-jerk reactions.

Life always comes good with the right attitude.
